Sudan’s opposition alliance said on Thursday the ruling military council’s suspension of talks with protesters for three days was a “regrettable” setback to efforts to forge a new democratic era following the overthrow of long-time leader Omar al-Bashir.
The developments followed violence in central Khartoum on Wednesday when at least nine people were wounded by Sudanese troops firing live ammunition to clear demonstrators.
On Monday, at least four people were killed in an outburst of violence after security forces tried to clear some protest sites – the first deaths linked to the upheaval in Khartoum for several weeks.
The head of Sudan’s Transitional Military Council , Lieutenant General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, accused the demonstrators of breaking an understanding on de-escalation while talks were underway and said protesters were disrupting life in the capital by blocking roads outside a protest zone agreed upon with the military.
In a televised speech, Burhan said the council had decided to suspend talks for 72 hours “until a suitable atmosphere is created to complete an agreement”.

Another official at the company said four miners were killed at the same
mine in January, adding that authorities at the time shut down the mine
and installed security but a couple of months ago they left.
Artisanal gold mining is a dangerous profession in Sudan largely due to
ramshackle infrastructure.
It flourished around a decade ago in various parts of country, with people
digging the ground using excavators in hopes of unearthing the precious

Sudan: Post-Revolution Transitional Govt To Try Ousted Bashir Over 1989 Coup - Liberty TV/Radio - News - Voice For All! Vision For Alll!
Editor 4
July 20, 2020
Sudan’s former autocratic president Omar al-Bashir, ousted amid a popular pro-democracy uprising last year, faces trial from Tuesday over the military coup that brought him to power more than three decades ago.
Bashir, 76, who is already behind bars for corruption, could face the death penalty if convicted over his 1989 coup against the democratically elected government of Prime Minister Sadek al-Mahdi.
Bashir will be in the dock with 10 military personnel and six civilians, including his former vice presidents Ali Osman Taha and Bakri Hassan Saleh, as well as former ministers and governors.
They are all accused of having plotted the June 30, 1989 coup when the army arrested Sudan’s political leaders, suspended parliament and other state bodies, closed the airport and announced the putsch on the radio.
Sudan’s post-revolution transitional government has launched a series of reforms in hopes of fully rejoining the international community.
Sudan has also pledged to hand over Bashir to the International Criminal Court to face trial on war crimes and genocide charges related to the Darfur conflict, which left 300,000 people dead and millions displaced in a scorched earth campaign against a 2003 insurgency.
Bashir, who was later elevated to the rank of general, stayed in power for 30 years before being overthrown on April 11 last year after several months of unprecedented, youth-led street demonstrations.
